Chapter 474: "Journey to the West" is here!
Chinese!
The Land of Music!
When they heard what the judge said, the audience stood up in an instant.
Loud applause rang out and filled the entire Metropolitan Opera House like thunder.
Many people looked at the members of the Chinese music delegation who were taking the stage to receive the awards one after another, and their eyes were complicated.
More than 20 days ago, where could they have imagined that Huaxia would take the crown of the last "hometown of music"? Don't even think about it, I don't even have such a thought!
After all, in the past, in the exchange competition of the International Music Palace Night, China could not even enter the top ten.
This time, however, it swept almost the entire game.
"Congratulations to Huaxia."
"Congratulations to Huaxia."
"Well deserved."
“……”
Accompanied by many praises, the members of the Chinese music delegation who came to the stage were in tears. Zhao Shu was a little better, he couldn't bear not to lose his temper on the stage, he kept a smile on his face, and tried to manage his expressions. But the other members had already burst into tears with excitement and couldn't hold back their trembling bodies.
It's the best music festival in the world!
Where did they dare to think that they could stand on this stage to receive the award?
The award is still the final award: the laurel of the hometown of music!
Center of the stage.
When the chief judge handed over the trophy, Zhao Shu wanted Wang Mo, a great hero, to take the trophy, but Wang Mo pushed Zhao Shu up: "Old Zhao, come here." ”
"Good!"
Zhao Shu knew that this was not the time to be humble, he took a deep breath, took the heavy golden trophy, and then raised his hands high, as if he was holding the faith of his life.
At this moment, Rao is trying to calm the tumbling in his heart, but his eyes are still red.
"How can he be deserved."
"This life is enough."
Zhao Shu kept repeating a few idioms in his heart, and he felt that his whole body was glowing.
And China, and even the world, has become boiling.
Huaxia won the crown of "the land of music", although many people had already guessed this result before that. But seeing Zhao Shu holding the trophy with his own eyes, the impact on everyone's hearts was still huge.
"Huaxia has created a miracle."
"Eight awards, six alone!"
"Oh my God! This music festival is legendary. ”
"I suddenly had a strong interest in Huaxia."
"Who isn't? The country has such a strong musical heritage that even more than all the countries of the West combined. That's enough to make me look sideways. ”
"Anyway, after a while, I must go to China and listen carefully to the music of this country. At that time, there were hundreds of musical instruments on display, but I only remembered the sound of a few instruments. ”
"Wait? No waiting! Book your flight now! Let's go! ”
“……”
That's why every country is striving for the title of "Land of Music".
While it may be an honor, it will have a profound impact on billions of people at Bluestar and will have a huge impact on the music industry in the award-winning countries.
In addition, in the next four years, half of the international music competitions will be held in China, and all music competitions will have no less than one-third of the Chinese judges, which is enough to make Chinese music usher in a qualitative leap.
With cheers and applause, after Zhao Shu stepped down with the trophy, it represented the official end of the International Music Hall Night.
……
On the way back.
Zhao Shu has been holding the trophy of "Music Town" and has always loved it, and his eyes are full of fascination.
But soon, he was reluctant to hand the trophy to someone else, and then took out his mobile phone and started calling.
Wang Mo smiled: "Old Zhao, are you still busy tonight?" ”
Zhao Shu said excitedly while dialing the number: "Of course, not only is it busy tonight, but I estimate that it will be very busy for a long time in the future." I'm afraid you don't know what the honor of 'Hometown of Music' will bring to China! Music Events, Judges, International Performances, Domestic Music Teams, Music Industry, Musical Instrument Industry, Domestic Tourism...... and all walks of life will almost usher in a big explosion, and if these things are not done well in advance, it will definitely bring a bad impression to foreigners. So I have to communicate with the relevant departments in China immediately to get them ready. ”
Wang Mo smiled: "I can't help with this. ”
Zhao Shu: "Where do you need to be used?" You kid just need to come out and town at the critical moment. What's more, just with your kid's character, I asked you to be the director of the music department, are you willing to go? ”
Wang Mo smiled: "Don't go." ”
Zhao Shu: "Isn't that enough?" What's more, I don't know yet, you kid has a lot of things. As for the "Journey to the West" you are on the stage, it is estimated that you can be busy for a while. You see, now, the media and netizens around the world are waiting for your oriental mythological story, wanting to identify whether it is a mule or a horse. ”
Speaking of which.
Zhao Shu's expression became serious: "Xiao Wang, what kind of mythological story is your "Journey to the West"?" Now that the whole world is staring at it, you have to use a snack. Don't lose the face of the Chinese people, especially when it comes to the Chinese mythological system, you must be cautious and not casual. Otherwise, when the time comes, write a plausible one, which will not only have opinions among the Chinese people, but also make foreign people misunderstand our mythological inheritance and beliefs. ”
The mythological system of a country and a nation is the most sacred and the most undefiled.
If Wang Mo is an ordinary online author who casually writes about some gods and demons, it will not hurt. But now it has risen to the level of international attention, where the mythological system, combat power, inheritance, and even clothing, magic weapons, words and deeds all need to be carefully considered.
Zhao Shu knew that the mythological system of Huaxia was very vast and huge, and he had a headache when he thought about it, so he told Wang Mo.
Wang Mo raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry." ”
That's "Journey to the West"!
That's one of the four great Chinese masterpieces!
The content in it is so rich and vast that it is not an exaggeration to say that it encompasses thousands of years of Chinese mythological system and even cultural inheritance.
Zhao Shu saw the confidence in Wang Mo's eyes and knew that this kid had never spoken wildly, so he nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for your masterpiece." However, after you write "Journey to the West", it is best to give Lao He and Tang a look. Make sure it's okay before publishing. ”
Wang Mo nodded and agreed: "Okay." ”
Although he has full confidence in "Journey to the West", Zhao Shu is also well-intentioned, and of course he will not refuse.
Upon returning to the hotel.
Yuan Xiong, Fu Hong and the others immediately turned around and threw themselves into the busyness.
Yuan Xiong won't mention it, there is a big mess of things to do. The construction and market development of Yunhai Media's overseas branches alone is enough to make him unable to distinguish his mind.
Fu Hong, as Wang Mo's agent, after Wang Mo came up with so much music this time and made good relations with a number of small countries, the follow-up work she had to be busy with was equally cumbersome.
It was Wang Mo who was idle again.
Although many people wanted to contact him, he didn't answer anyone, but turned off his mobile phone, excused himself to sleep, and then lay down on the bed, while silently reciting in his heart: "System, call up the panel~~~"
The system pops up the panel in an instant.
Wang Mo looked at his current popularity, which had risen to more than 50 million.
And it's still rising rapidly at the moment.
Since he has so much prestige, then he has no worries.
immediately opened the system mall, and soon found "Journey to the West".
It's just that the price is really not cheap, 10 million prestige!
If other books were so expensive, Wang Mo would probably scold the system profiteers. But at the moment, he even felt that the price was very reasonable, even a little cheap.
It's just that.
"The "Journey to the West" given by the system is the original work, although it is in the vernacular, perhaps it is not a big problem for Chinese people who have gone through nine years of compulsory education to read it. But if it is translated into other languages in this style, I am afraid that foreigners will not understand it at all. Not to mention the promotion of Chinese culture. ”
Wang Mo frowned and pondered.
After half ringing.
Wang Mo asked a question: "System, can you translate "Journey to the West" into English and ensure its original flavor to the greatest extent?" ”
System: [10 million reputation.] 】
it!
Now Wang Mo was not calm: "You just translated, do you want so much prestige?" Do you have a good conscience? ”
System: [This system has no heart, so there is no need for the host to worry.] In addition: this system is not just a translation, because the classical Chinese text is very different from the popular text, and then translating into the English version is equivalent to rewriting the story of nearly one million words, and it also ensures two points: first, to maintain the original flavor of Chinese mythology. Second, ensure that foreign netizens have no barriers to reading. 】
"Okay, 10 million is 10 million."
Wang Mo knew that what the system said was the truth, and although he was now proficient in English, he couldn't even translate the opening verses of "Journey to the West".
The difficulty is off the charts.
As Wang Mo's words fell.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the system reappeared: [Prestige has been deducted, the original and English versions of "Journey to the West" have been distributed to the host's backpack, please pay attention to checking. 】
Well?
So fast?
Wang Mo thought that the system would take ten days and eight days to customize the English version, but it was made in the blink of an eye.
He sank into his mind and realized that he had two more books in his virtual backpack.
An original book.
One English edition.
He didn't need to read the original book, so he immediately opened the English version and read it.
After just watching it for a few minutes, Wang Mo felt that 10 million prestige was too worthwhile for the system to translate the English version.
Because the version translated by the system is not 10% restored, but at least 90% of the original work is restored, which makes Wang Mo not only read very smoothly, but also feels that the story is stronger.
In particular, the system also adds Western humor and writing habits, so that Western readers can more easily accept the story and substitute it for them.
"Perfect!"
Wang Mo was amazed, and he even fell in love with this English version a little.
Because the English version is completely a modern popular Journey to the West, it is more comfortable to read than the obscurity of many places in the original book.
Even he, an outsider, can't put down the English version, so Wang Mo believes that when the English version of "Journey to the West" is launched, it will definitely make Western readers accept it quickly.
Everything.
Only the east wind is owed.
Wang Mo plans to code out the original and English versions as soon as he returns to Huaxia.
……
The day after the end of the International Music Palace Night, Zhao Shu returned to China with the members of the Chinese music delegation, obviously too busy to stay here for a long time.
And Wang Mo also decided to leave in three days.
In these three days, Wang Mo still did several things.
The first thing: party with all the celebrities.
Today's Wang Mo has long become a fragrant existence in the eyes of celebrities. In particular, everyone learned from Kenneth that Wang Mo, a new music master, is not at all as high-minded and arrogant as other masters, but approachable.
So all the invitations like snowflakes fell in front of Wang Mo.
It was impossible for Wang Mo to attend them all, so he asked Kenneth to hold a grand banquet to make friends with these celebrities.
What a newspaper celebrity.
What a steel king.
What an internet bigwig.
What a Hollywood boss.
Anyway, he didn't refuse, and greeted each other with a smile.
It's all connections!
And it is the top network of the Blue Star business community today.
Wang Mo will push it out when he is stupid.
After all, he is not like Simon and Romando, who don't eat fireworks in the world.
Wang Mo only knew that after making friends with these celebrities, he would be able to use them one day.
It's like these celebrities know that Wang Mo is affiliated with Yunhai Media, and after Yunhai Media happens to have a branch in New York, they all say that they will take care of it within their ability in the future.
Regardless of whether the other party is telling the truth or not, as long as this news spreads, Yunhai Media's overseas work will be much smoother in the future, and no one will deliberately make things difficult and obstructive.
The second piece: "Kung Fu" was released.
After more than a month of global releases, "Kung Fu" has officially bid farewell to the big screen a few days ago. The international box office was fixed at $125 million.
Although this box office is not particularly dazzling internationally, it still stirs up a lot of ripples.
After all, it is the first film in China to achieve a box office of more than 100 million overseas.
It's just a pity for Yuan Xiong: "Amer, if "Kung Fu" is delayed overseas for a month, it is estimated that the box office will increase by at least two or three million US dollars." ”
Wang Mo was puzzled: "Why?" ”
Yuan Xiong explained: "When "Kung Fu" was released overseas, you were not well-known internationally. But now you're all over the world, in the music industry. So if we focus on promoting you internationally as the screenwriter and producer of "Kung Fu", it will definitely arouse the curiosity of many fans, and then contribute to the box office. ”
Wang Mo smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, the days ahead will be long." ”
With a box office of only two or three million US dollars, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Like he said, the future is long.
Even if it is the international box office of more than 100 million yuan in "Kung Fu", it will not make him have the slightest psychological fluctuation.
For Wang Mo, the release of "Kung Fu" this time opened the door of international theaters, which is the biggest gain of this movie release.
As for the box office, there is no difference between 100 million and 200 300 million.
Well, what's the next movie?
"The Wandering Earth"!
It's just that "The Wandering Earth" seems to be a bit difficult to eat internationally.
It seems that I am ready to start planning films suitable for the international market.
Come to think of this.
Wang Mo suddenly turned to look at Yuan Xiong: "Brother Xiong, strive to open a film and television branch in the beautiful country this year." ”
Yuan Xiong was stunned: "Film and television division? Not necessarily, right? ”
He was under his impression.
All of Yunhai Media's films and TV are only limited to the Chinese market, and the international market is almost zero.
Wang Mingming nodded sincerely: "It's necessary, I'm going to start shooting the next movie after I'm busy with this period of time." And the market for the next film, I will not only be based on China, but will be based on the world. ”
Yuan Xiong swallowed his saliva and finally digested this sentence.
He understood the meaning of the words.
After a pause, he said, "Are you busy?" ”
At first, fairy tales went international, and now the overseas fairy tale department is just getting on the right track.
As a result, Wang Mo came up with a bunch of top-notch tunes at the International Music Palace Night. With so much music radiating all over the world, it needs to be followed up with various copyright treatments, so the overseas music department is currently being established urgently.
The key is also Wang Mo's "Journey to the West".
Unexpectedly, Wang Mo's "Journey to the West" has not yet been skimmed, and this guy is going to engage in overseas film and television again.
Every single one of these things is a big deal.
Other companies may not be able to complete one in three or five years, but Wang Mo has made several at the same time.
Wang Mo smiled: "Of course I'm busy, I just need to take out the work, and I'll hand it over to Brother Xiong in the future." ”
He's right.
Just take out the work yourself, how simple.
What's too busy to do?
Yuan Xiong opened his mouth, and finally spread his hands: "Okay......"
It seems that he is going to recruit more people to North America.
Otherwise, I'll die of exhaustion.
Wang Mo, this girl, the plate is expanding too fast.
In addition to the first two things.
The third thing that was most unexpected.
Originally, Wang Mo decided to leave New York on the fourth day.
But a sudden phone call disrupted his plans.
On the third day, Simon called: "Mr. Wang Mo, when will you leave New York?" ”
Wang Mo: "Tomorrow." ”
Simon: "In such a hurry?" ”
Wang Mo: "Simon, do you have something to do?" ”
Simon: "That's right, I discussed it with Romando, Stephen and a few others, and planned to settle in Huaxia together for a while. Because this time, you and Huaxia let us see the great musical heritage of Huaxia and opened our eyes, so we are going to go to Huaxia to carefully study its music culture to see if it can help us improve our ability. Even if we can't improve our ability, we can learn some Chinese folk music, so that we won't be lonely in the future. ”
Wang Mo asked several times.
It was determined that a bunch of music masters, as well as a bunch of world-class composers and performers, were going to China.
For this sudden news, he didn't come back to his senses.
Simon in particular is talking about settling down for a while.
Settle down!
This means that these top music bigwigs will live in China for at least half a year!
"it!"
Wang Mo subconsciously burst out with a foul mouth.
He could fully imagine what such a group of world-class musicians would bring to China if such a group of world-class musicians went to China.
For the Chinese music industry, it is completely a splashing wealth!
However, Simon heard Wang Mo's "slump" and said strangely: "Mr. Wang Mo, what did you say?" ”
Wang Mo sighed: "I'm talking about praising God!" ”
Simon: "I often hear Chinese netizens say this, do all the young people in China believe in God now? ”
Wang Mo: "Ahem...... Maybe? ”
Then.
He quickly changed the subject: "Master Simon, if you and a few other teachers are going to Huaxia, I can delay the ticket and then go with you." ”
Simon: "Is it going to be a problem for you?" ”
Wang Mo: "No, no. ”
Simon was overjoyed: "That's good, we'll discuss it here, and give you a definite time in half an hour." ”
Wang Mo: "Okay. ”
Hung up.
Wang Mo immediately dialed Zhao Shu's mobile phone and told him about it.
When Zhao Shu heard the news, he almost jumped up.
I asked several times in succession.
It must be known that in the past, even if they paid a lot of money, it was difficult for them to invite a pianist like Jiro Miyata to come to China.
So after learning about this, he immediately said, "Xiao Wang, you tell Mr. Simon about them immediately." Huaxia will personally send a special plane to New York to pick them up and receive them with the highest standard of etiquette.
In addition, we will prepare all the food, clothing, housing and transportation, and will also send a special service team to solve their problems throughout the process, so that they can rest assured. ”
"Okay."
Wang Mo quickly relayed the matter to Simon.
Simon was also pleasantly surprised, and repeatedly praised the official Chinese government for having the demeanor of a great country.
Even many musicians who didn't want to go were ready to move after hearing such treatment.
Wang Mo speculated: It is estimated that this wave, Huaxia will abduct at least one-third of the world's top musicians.
As for whether the other party can stay for a long time after going to Huaxia, it depends on the ability of Zhao Shu and the Huaxia team. But I think it shouldn't be a big problem, in terms of dealing with people, Huaxia is called second, and no one dares to call it first. I promise to make these old guys live comfortably and happily.
It's just that in this way, his return to Huaxia will inevitably be delayed.
Because of the dispatch of the special plane and the preparation of Simon and others, it will take at least a week.
In that case......
Wang Mo made up his mind, and he began to code words.
Taking advantage of this time, he can write a part of "Journey to the West".
After all, the original and English versions add up, almost two million words, and even if he only had to copy the words in his head, it would take a long time.
He first wrote the original.
A day after writing, Wang Mo had already coded the first three episodes of "Journey to the West", about more than 20,000 words.
After all, it only needs to be copied.
Therefore, more than 20,000 words a day is not difficult at all, and it is even easy to play.
I was about to continue writing.
He suddenly remembered Zhao Shu's words: "Well, Zhao Lao said that I would give He Lao a look before publishing "Journey to the West", since I promised him, let's show He Lao first." ”
Come to think of this.
Wang Mo saved the first three times and sent them to He Zhixing's mailbox.
The first time: the spiritual root nurtures the source of pregnancy and flows out of the spiritual cultivation avenue
The second time: Realize the true truth of Bodhi, break the demon and return to the original god
The third time: the four seas and thousands of mountains are all arched, and the nine secluded and ten categories are all removed
Then he sent a message to He Zhixing to explain the matter, and then continued to code. (End of chapter)
