Chapter 43 Fame Overseas
Yu Zhen and Selena Feng were quickly taken away in a city government vehicle.
The expected royalty income is as high as one million US dollars.
Such news is like a nuclear bomb exploding; it's incredibly destructive.
It's worth noting that last year, the total foreign exchange earnings of the Shanghai Stock Exchange were barely less than 30 billion US dollars.
Today, Yu, the great writer, is already expected to receive at least a million dollars in royalties just from the publication of one of his science fiction novels in North America.
This result is truly mind-blowing!
The two entered the city government compound and received an unprecedentedly warm welcome. Almost the entire city government mobilized to greet the two writers.
The publishing house also sent a number of people after hearing the news.
President Huang was undoubtedly the one with the brightest smile.
Editor Xiao Wu was extremely uncomfortable and out of place at the welcoming ceremony, so when he saw Yu Zhen and the other person, he immediately followed them like a shadow and took Selena Feng's arm.
They became as close as sisters, and refused to let go of each other again.
The numerous celebratory and lively scenes that are extremely easy to get banned during the review process have been omitted.
In short, the city government compound was bustling more than during the Lunar New Year today. Everyone was beaming with joy, and the atmosphere was one of adoration for the great writer Yu, Selena Feng, and editor Xiao Wu, all supporting the film.
Still the old saying.
In this era, being able to earn foreign exchange for the country is considered a great achievement.
Moreover, Yu Zhen is now earning foreign exchange through creative work.
With a worn-out pen, the stories in one's mind can flow endlessly, earning the country an astonishing amount of foreign exchange revenue.
This is a situation that can only be described as defying the odds.
Looking across the whole country and the entire literary and artistic front, there is no one who can rival him or compare to him!
"Comrade Yu Zhen, thank you for your contributions. You have truly brought glory to our country!!!"
The leader warmly shook Yu Zhen's hand.
He was constantly showering praise upon himself.
Click, click, the city secretary held up his camera, the lens quickly capturing the touching scenes on the scene.
Today is a historic moment worthy of being recorded in the city's annals.
Shanghai has always been a pioneer in the arts and culture sector. Its initial support for Comrade Yu Zhen, despite opposition, has yielded the most fruitful results.
This is the best illustration of responding to the national "Double Hundred Policy" for the arts and literature front.
This is a truly remarkable story that deserves to be widely reported in national media.
Selena von was initially very uncomfortable dealing with officials and was filled with even greater vigilance.
I am extremely worried that something terrible might happen at any moment.
There was no way around it; in her mind, although she felt a special affinity for the great Eastern power, her deep-seated negative perception stemmed from the influence of the Western environment since childhood.
She harbors a deep-seated distrust of the authorities.
But soon, she began to realize that reality was different from what she had imagined. The extraordinary treatment that the Shanghai municipal government gave to Yu Zhen overturned her understanding.
"Wu, the cultural differences between China and the other side of the ocean are truly worlds apart!"
"Ha, why would you make such a remark?"
"Wu, to be honest, I did advise Yu to go abroad and develop his career in the United States if he had the chance, but now I suddenly feel that my suggestion was a bit rash. It seems that Yu would be more successful in China..."
Wu Ke's heart skipped a beat. "It's not convenient to talk about this kind of thing here. Let's talk to Yu about it later. But don't worry, if there's a real opportunity to go abroad, he will definitely consider it seriously."
Selena Feng was stunned, wondering where Wu Ke got his confident judgment from.
Little did she know the allure of the simple phrase "the opportunity to develop one's career abroad" to a young woman like Wu Ke from Shanghai.
Go abroad to see the world, especially to develop your career in the United States.
In just a few years, this concept will almost certainly become the top choice for ambitious young people in China, sweeping across an entire era as the most fashionable trend.
Because of the presence of Selena von, a foreign guest.
Today, the city government's reception banquet was held directly at the Peace Hotel on the Bund.
More than two months ago, Yu Zhen strolled alone along the Bund, a high-end place that could only be seen from across the street, the most iconic place in the old Shanghai.
And now, unexpectedly, it's under my feet.
That night.
Selena von was an important foreign guest.
Arranged by relevant municipal government personnel, they were directly admitted to the Peace Hotel and received the highest level of hospitality for foreign guests in Shanghai.
This guy made her incredibly happy.
Ultimately, Selena von herself is just a poor student with excellent grades. With her meager government-sponsored exchange student status, she really can't afford to stay in such a high-end luxury hotel.
That evening, Yu Zhen was warmly invited to stay by Selena, who said she wanted to discuss the new manuscript for the sequel.
The two of them spent a considerable amount of time carefully examining the quality of the high-end bed in the Peace Hotel's suite.
Between men and women, once there is a first time, it means there will be countless times.
Moreover, the forbidden fruit, which is said to have a lingering taste, is best enjoyed by secretly savoring it, which adds to its unique flavor.
The relevant city government personnel made rapid progress in their follow-up work.
Taking advantage of the recent establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, which are currently in a honeymoon period of mutual exchanges, this matter has received high attention from both sides and has been listed as a priority item.
Therefore, within a few days, the settlement of royalties and other related matters for the publication and distribution of the two Chinese works, "The Truman Show" and "Brain in a Vat," in North America was quickly completed under the close coordination and negotiation between the two countries' officials, ensuring full protection of their interests.
Selena von's concerns were completely unnecessary.
Publisher Mark Sr. has absolutely no aversion to the involvement of the two countries' governments in regulation.
Not only that, after the official negotiations were basically completed and many matters concerning the first two works were settled, Old Mark heard that Yu Zhen's third sequel was already in the works, so he immediately submitted an application and rushed to Shanghai to discuss the collaboration on the third work with Yu Zhen in person.
The reason is simple: with the release of the second sequel, "Brain in a Vat," and the sequel's sales easily surpassing one million copies once again.
In the North American market, there has been a collective obsession with and adoration for Yu Zhen, this mysterious science fiction writer from an ancient Eastern country.
The entire North American publishing industry is vying for the opportunity to collaborate with this Eastern author.
at the same time.
In North American newspapers and magazines, and on the front pages of television news, even more exaggerated headlines are appearing everywhere:
[A science fiction writer from a mysterious ancient Eastern country is redefining the concept of what true science fiction is in the United States!]
A collective delusion is emerging within the American tech community: they believe that the stories penned by science fiction writers from a mysterious ancient Eastern country are highly likely to become reality in the next decade.
The concept of the "brain in a vat" technology has been preliminarily validated by the Life Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley.
The concepts of computer networks and virtual communities have become the next blue ocean for competition among high-tech companies across the United States, led by IBM.
[Shocking! "The Truman Show" and "Brain in a Vat" are rapidly becoming the most popular science fiction works among students at the top 10 STEM universities in the United States]
Breaking news!! A mysterious billionaire is preparing a real "live-stream island" deep in the Pacific Ocean, and American television viewers may be able to watch a live television program depicting the real growth of "The Truman Show" within the next year.
