Chapter 284: Fetishes
In the villa, Remy heard that Xu Chuan hoped that he could help him find a lobbying company to lobby for the Hugo Award.
I couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to promote "The Three-Body Problem" to the international market?" Or do you simply want to win an award abroad so that you can promote it at home? ”
When Xu Chuan heard this, he immediately replied: "That is naturally to promote the foreign market, if it is just to promote it in China, I really don't need to engage in a foreign award." "The Three-Body Problem" was reprinted for the second time with 300,000 copies, and it has now been sold out. ”
"I saw this hot search on the Internet, and your book can already be booked as the bestseller champion this year." Remy said with a smile.
After speaking, without waiting for Xu Chuan to reply, she continued: "However, to be honest, I can find a lobbying company, but I may not be able to get this award."
I'm not saying that your work is bad, but for a few reasons that you should be aware of. After all, the Hugo Awards have some Eurocentric connotations. ”
Xu Chuan nodded when he heard this: "I know this, try it, if it doesn't work, forget it." ”
Speaking of which, the experience of "The Three-Body Problem" winning the Hugo Award on Earth is a process full of drama.
You can go to station B or any other platform to find a more comprehensive science popularization, but I won't go into too much detail.
At present, there are three Chinese writers on the earth who have won the Hugo Award.
In addition to Da Liu, the remaining two are Hao Jingfang, who wrote "BJ Folding", and the other is "Time and Space Painter" by Hai Xuan, a post-90s writer who won the award in 23.
How to describe the work of these two?
Well, Xu Chuan feels that there is nothing to describe, if you are interested, go and see it yourself, it can only be said that each flower has its own eyes.
Anyway, the influence of "The Three-Body Problem" can be so great, and its fundamental lies in the quality of the book.
Objectively speaking, the Hugo Award has lost its gold content a long time ago. If you have paid attention or have an in-depth understanding, it should be clear that this award is full of various off-the-field factors.
Of course, not only the Hugo Award, in fact, with the development of the times, all foreign awards have almost developed towards a bird.
There is no institution or award that can be independent of the influence of the times.
But even so, in Xu Chuan's view, it is still much better to win an award than not to win an award.
Here, Xu Chuan and Remy are chatting about the Hugo Awards.
On the other side, in a study room full of books in the capital, several people with glasses were chatting about similar topics.
"Invitations received? Who are you going to recommend? An older man laughed.
"Lao Liu is actually good, I plan to write a letter of recommendation to him." As soon as these words came out, another person said with a smile.
"In my opinion, Lao Hu's work has a higher probability of winning awards." A third man spoke.
The eldest man heard this and nodded, and the people who recommended it were expected.
So, he set his eyes on the last person, and said with a smile: "Lao Yu, who are you going to recommend?" ”
"Xu Chuan." The person known as Lao Yu said with a smile when he heard this.
As soon as these words came out, several people present raised their eyebrows, and said in unison: "Who? ”
"Xu Chuan." Lao Yu spread his hands, and the smile on his face became even worse.
"What about you, yes, that kid's books are selling crazy now, but he writes science fiction."
"Did people say that science fiction can't run for election? Aren't poetry and prose all within the scope of the selection? Lao Yu asked rhetorically when he heard this.
"Yes, the truth is this, you can indeed run for election, but have you ever won an award? Isn't this a waste of places? ”
Lao Yu was immediately unhappy when he heard this: "Look at what you said, what is a waste of quota, this quota is mine, I can recommend whoever I want."
I just like what he writes, it's a lot of fun. Sending others is also the past to accompany the run, so I can't send a copy of what I like? ”
"That "Three-Body Problem" is absolutely impossible, and you can't pass the test just by writing."
"Who said I was going to hand over the Three-Body Problem? Haven't you watched "Wandering Blue Star"? The second prequel in reverse order in the middle of this kid is so interesting.
It's just that the writing is really bad, but what does it matter? Lao Yu laughed as he spoke.
Talking about "Wandering Blue Star", Xu Chuan on the other side happened to take a copy of "Wandering Blue Star" from his bookshelf and handed it to Remy.
Originally, the reason why Remy came to mention this time was to take the book. I saw that after she took the book, she instinctively opened it and swept it.
After a while, she picked up the book, opened the cover and pointed the inside page to Xu Chuan, and asked suspiciously: "There is a question that I have always been puzzled about, who is this Mr. Pu Lan?" ”
She faced Xu Chuan's page, which was the first page after the book opened the cover.
There is nothing else on this page, except for a calligraphy work printed in the middle, with four big characters of "Wandering Blue Star" written on it.
Then there is the "Mr. Pu Lan question" printed font below.
There is also a similar calligraphy work "Three-Body Problem".
The originals of these two calligraphy works were given to him by Zhao Kangnian. It is now kept in his study.
The original is naturally in the inscription calligraphy format of the Eight Classics, from right to left, and then on the far left and the seal is used.
But when printing, Xu Chuan specially changed the layout.
In addition, the area where the cover is folded inside is usually printed with the author's introduction. But whether it is "Wandering Blue Star" or "Three-Body Problem", it is printed with a comment.
The source of the comment is naturally Mr. Pu Lan, but Xu Chuan did not indicate that he wrote it.
Sometimes something just gets troublesome. If someone gives something, you don't have to use it, and it's not good if you use it too bluntly.
Now hearing Remy ask who Mr. Pu Lan is, Xu Chuan is a little helpless.
Because of this question, he also wants to ask, who is Mr. Pu Lan?
However, he could not tell Remy that he didn't know, so he could only say, "An old gentleman." ”
"Old sir? Writers' associations? Remy instinctively asked.
"That's not it, okay, it doesn't matter." Xu Chuan didn't explain too much, and deliberately raised his hand to look at his watch, and it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening.
Although this is still early for people in big cities, it is still a little too late for certain lonely men and widows.
Remy naturally understood what this action of lifting the watch meant.
But now she just wants to pretend to be confused, she specially chose a later flight, and then rushed to Xu Chuan's house at 8 o'clock, why?
Isn't it just to take advantage of the atmosphere of the night to have a good time?
How can you just leave.
So, instead of taking the initiative to get up and say that he was leaving, Remy opened the book and read it slowly.
It looks like he wants to finish watching "Wandering Blue Star" at Xu Chuan's house.
This performance made Xu Chuan stunned, and he couldn't help but speak: "You can take it back and see it." ”
"Don't do it, it wouldn't be nice if you took this book back and lost it, or let someone who shouldn't have seen it.
I'll read it on your side, and then it's safer to put it in my head and take it away. "Remy gave himself a very strong reason.
After saying this, she also changed her sitting posture and changed to a more relaxed state of reading.
"I don't think there's a need for this, I'm sure you can keep it." Xu Chuan said with some tears and laughter.
"Are you going to go to the U.S. together?" Remy did not reply to Xu Chuan's question, but turned the subject back to the United States.
"Huh?" The topic jumped too fast, so Xu Chuan didn't hear it clearly for a while.
"I said, are you going to go to the United States with Mr. Qiu? We collected a few Los Angeles wedding information in advance, and planned to recreate the MV scene for Mr. Qiu first. Remy continued to look down at the book and said.
However, although she was reading a book, she didn't actually read a word.
She really wanted to go to the United States with Xu Chuan, because there would be enough and reasonable reasons to stay together all day.
That will be the two-person world of himself and Xu Chuan, and anything can happen.
"But the question is, didn't you say that you claimed to your side that Teacher Qiu and I were in a state of turning faces? Staying together in Japan can be said to be a business.
Is it reasonable for me to go abroad and act with her? Xu Chuan asked after hearing Remy's words.
As soon as Remy heard this, his eyes when he looked down at the book obviously drifted, and his mouth couldn't help but be a little nervous.
The heart is because I said to the outside world that you and Qiu Yicheng had a falling out, so we have a two-person world. Otherwise, you would have acted with Qiu Yicheng, how could you have anything to do with yourself?
Speaking of which, Remy still firmly believes that Qiu Yicheng is a pull, and he and Xu Chuan are just good friends.
This is not to blame her, Xu Cihua has been talking too much in her ears, this thing is like a special ideological steel seal, and it will be really difficult to reverse it for a while under preconceived ideas.
Second, Qiu Yicheng's current singing of "Sugar" or "Shape of you" are all songs from a male perspective, which makes everyone messy.
But whether it is pulled or not, it does not affect Qiu Yicheng in Remy's eyes is a light bulb that has to be thrown off.
Thinking of this, Remy licked his lips slightly because he was nervous and said, "So, you and Teacher Qiu can't be together in the United States, so you have to act separately." ”
"I'm going to go fart?" Xu Chuan was happy when he heard this.
"You listen to me, ostensibly acting separately, but in fact I will take you wherever she goes. You can also take this opportunity to take a closer look at the U.S. market, right? When Remy heard this, he quickly put down the pretense of reading a book and explained.
"Isn't this taking off your pants and farting? What about taking your colleague for a fool? Xu Chuan was a little speechless.
"You still don't know my gang of co-workers, they often take off their pants and fart. So, it's not a problem.
Moreover, I will tell them that you are here to follow Mr. Qiu's itinerary this time. The purpose is to learn from Mr. Qiu to push himself, Bai Tianyu and even Du Wenyu into the American market.
Based on this situation, I feel that it is necessary to take the opportunity of your visit to the United States to once again win over you, a public figure with great influence in China.
So, I will come over and contact you, and even stay together every day, so that I can coordinate your trip with Mr. Qiu in the middle. Remy continued to elaborate on his thoughts.
"But the question is, why should I contact you?" After hearing this, Xu Chuan asked rhetorically, and added a sentence after speaking, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I don't want to contact you, I mean, in the eyes of outsiders, why should I contact you?" ”
Hearing this, Remy said without hesitation: "Because I can guarantee your safety, you still have a big enemy Xu Cihua in the United States." ”
"Huh?" Xu Chuan was stunned when he heard this.
Then he asked in disbelief: "So, Xu Cihua has the ability and guts, what physical harm did he do to me?"
Obediently, I know that the United States is in chaos, but Qiu Yicheng and I should go to a rich area, right? The rich district isn't so outrageous, is it? Is this the United States or Mexico? ”
Of course not, Xu Cihua doesn't have the ability, let alone the guts. The United States is not in such a mess, so there is no problem with your safety.
Even, as I said, there will be people who want to take the opportunity to woo you again and show you what a true 'free country' is.
Therefore, what you show must be something beautiful, otherwise how can you believe that it is really good, how can you be willing to advocate it?
But the problem is, you don't know that. Isn't it normal for you to have some undue concern about your safety in the U.S., given your public statements on the Internet?
And I can use the excuse of keeping you safe, wooing you and spying on you by the way. Not only that, but from your point of view, with a 'hostage' like me by your side, those people should always be jealous, right?
So, you'd better show that you have to keep me by your side all the time to fit the personality. At this time, Remy's head was slightly lowered, his mouth was talking, and his hands were gesturing with big movements.
The big movements and the lowered head are actually demonstrating the weakness of her heart.
She didn't dare to look at Xu Chuan at all now, because although she was telling the truth in this set, there were a lot of private goods mixed in.
Especially the latter "want me to stay by your side all the time".
And Xu Chuan, who was on the other side, couldn't help but fall into thought after listening to Remy's analysis.
First of all, Remy's logic makes perfect sense, so he doesn't think Remy is lying to himself.
But the problem is, he always felt that something was wrong.
Fuck, what's wrong?
After a while, the clever Xu Chuan discovered the crux of the problem.
I saw him speak: "Wait, that's not right! There's something wrong with that. ”
As soon as these words came out, Remy's heart suddenly lifted, her lowered eyes looked around, and she pretended to be calm and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"If you stay with me every day, who will arrange Qiu Yicheng's work?" Xu Chuan asked.
As soon as these words came out, Remy instantly breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that Xu Chuan was talking about something else.
So, she naturally held up her mobile phone and replied: "It's the era of intelligence, and I still have a group of people under my hands."
They're not going to eat dry, are they? The work over there was originally arranged by me and carried out by them. ”
"Oh, yes." Xu Chuan nodded again when he heard this.
Sometimes, I really don't blame him for being unresponsive, although Remy's private goods are a bit of a "Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by".
But Xu Chuan is now in a state of analyzing things. If a person listens to something and thinks about it, Remy's little caution will really be automatically ignored.
Don't believe it, it's like if you want to drive, you really can see the wheels of the car when you look at anything.
"Are you going?" Remy couldn't help but ask tentatively.
"Go, indeed to see." Xu Chuan didn't say anything to consider this time, he also wanted to see his girlfriend's demeanor abroad.
Seeing Xu Chuan agree, Remy felt that her face was starting to get bloodshot, and she hurriedly picked up the "Wandering Blue Star" she had just put down to look at it in a fake way.
For a moment, she was thinking about what clothes she should bring, and she didn't know what style Xu Chuan liked?
He wore tight-fitting stockings a few times, but he didn't seem to even look at it. Does he like loose half-covers?
Or, is it the kind of forest woman?
Just as Remy was thinking nonsense, Xu Chuan got up and said, "Okay, it's late, you can go back and rest early." ”
"This book ......" Remy still didn't want to leave, she wanted to stay here.
Seeing that Remy was still pulling books as an excuse, Xu Chuan immediately said with a straight face and a tone that could not be refused: "Take it back and read it, be obedient." ”
What kind of books are not books, how can buddy let you spend the night at my house, what if you want to install eavesdropping and candid photography equipment in my house?
Xu Chuan still doesn't fully trust Remy. Even, what Remy said just now about wooing while spying on it, he listened to it seriously.
At this time, Remy, listening to Xu Chuan's sudden "no refusal" tone, his already hot face became even hotter.
Because of this scene, she dreamed several times, especially the phrase "obedient", the tone was exactly the same.
According to the development of the plot, if he hesitates at this time, what should follow should be a merciless slap.
Thinking of this, Remy didn't move, she just looked up at Xu Chuan who was standing there, and there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.
But Xu Chuan was a little puzzled, what happened to this person?
I saw him say to Remy, "Why are you looking at me?" ”
This question made Remy come back to her senses instantly, and she quickly got up with some shame and said, "No...... It's nothing...... That, I'm gone, I'm gone, good night. ”
After saying that, she quickly left Xu Chuan's house as if she was deserted.
And Xu Chuan looked at Remy's back even more suspiciously, his little head was full of big question marks.
This woman is really weird.
Remy, on the other side, after escaping back to the car, put two cold hands on his face to cool himself.
While cooling down, he said to himself: "It's over, it's over, it's over, how can I like this, how can I have this fetish?" ”
"It must have been with Xu Cihua and their group of dead perverts for a long time, yes, it must be! I was affected. ”
"Wait, Xu Chuan is studying psychology, he must have seen something, he must have seen it, what can I do?"
"It's a shame, it's a shame!! But...... Hey......"
