I just want to copy books quietly

Volumes Three, Four, and Five were nominated for Hugo Awards.

Unfortunately, none of them won the final award.

But it doesn't matter to Mr. Martin, he has already won the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award.

Sand King, Lyanna's Song, already had him slammed.

And not getting the double prize won't prevent A Song of Ice and Fire from selling well all over the world.

The Song of Ice and Fire did not win the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, not because it is not good enough, but because of many factors.

It's not that some people say that A Song of Ice and Fire only suits Chinese tastes, and foreigners don't like it. On the contrary, in the eyes of European and American readers, there are only two kinds of fantasy: The Lord of the Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire, and other fantasy.

The complicated names in A Song of Ice and Fire, the Western-style political ecology and customs, and the overly realistic description are all factors that make Chinese readers retreat.

And these are precisely what European and American readers love.

It was born in 2002, and by 2008, the global sales volume had exceeded 1000 million copies, allowing Mr. George Martin to get over [-] million dollars in royalties. Is A Song of Ice and Fire not popular in Europe and America?No wonder.

Therefore, A Song of Ice and Fire actually has the conditions to win an award, and being nominated shows that it is good enough.

No award is determined by off-site factors.

On Azure Star, Du Caige, who brought Song of Ice and Fire, has the status of a "billionaire" so that he can travel all the way.

Off-court factors?For billionaires, there are no off-market factors.

Or it can be said that he is the biggest off-court factor.

Especially in capitalist countries where money is paramount.

Don't think that the judging committees of these famous awards are more ethical.

If he appears virtuous in front of you, it is only because you are not worthy of letting him lose his decency.

Even the judging committee of the Nebula Awards had to give him a hint in advance, so that he would not come to the awards ceremony because of his airs.

The result now is to everyone's satisfaction.

The book fans are satisfied, thinking that the Nebula Award finally has a vision.

The publishing house is satisfied, because this means that the sales of A Song of Ice and Fire can increase again.

Du Caige was also satisfied, Fusheng had a half day's leisure, thinking about the team that was still running around the country to run the propaganda, a silly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Duan Xiaochen was also satisfied.Every time she came to the Stars and Stripes, she would have the illusion that Du Caige belonged to her alone.

Of course she knew it was an illusion, a fantasy.

But it feels really good.

Until Yan Yingzhen appeared in front of her.

"Why are you here? How did you find the hotel where I stayed?" Duan Xiaochen's pretty face immediately collapsed, "Don't you know that pregnant women are not allowed to fly?"

"No way, I have something to do, so I can only fly here," Yan Yingzhen smiled, "By the way, I will explain to you that it's not that pregnant women are not allowed to fly, but it's better not to fly in the early and late stages of pregnancy. You'll know when you get pregnant. The airlines actually dissuade them when they see pregnant women, but this time I came here by someone else's private jet, but no one dissuaded me."

I can't answer this. What do you mean you will know when you are pregnant? This is to make people angry.

Duan Xiaochen quickly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, you are such a rich person, why don't you buy a plane yourself."

"It's not cost-effective! The maintenance cost is too high, it's troublesome to apply for the waterway, and you have to maintain a crew. With this money, it's not good for me to invest in other things. Anyway, I have shares in several airlines, although the shareholding is not special There are many, but it is considered a relatively large shareholder. If you want to fly, you can use the business class at will. Even if you can’t get it, you can still use other people’s private jets like now.”

"I don't want to talk to you anymore, you go."

"Haha!" Yan Yingzhen stretched out her hand and teased Duan Xiaochen's chin, "I'm here to find Lao Du. He asked me to meet him here."

Duan Xiaochen was silent for a while, then smiled wryly, "Does he want to have a showdown with me? Let you come to see me with your big belly first, and then tell me that he got you pregnant and wants me to make a decision?"

"Probably, I didn't ask him what he thinks." Yan Yingzhen's tone seemed indifferent.

"I'm not as good as he wanted. Come in and wait!" Duan Xiaochen welcomed Yan Yingzhen in and began to pack her luggage.

"Are you going back to China?" Yan Yingzhen awkwardly sat on the sofa clutching her big belly.

"Yes. I can't just listen to his arrangements. I don't want to have a showdown with him now. Why, why should he say it's a showdown." Duan Xiaochen's reaction was not violent, but he was very determined.

Yan Yingzhen smiled and said, "Why don't you send him a text message and say that you called other women to our hotel? What's the point? I'm upset! Break up!"

Duan Xiaochen made a grimace, "That's not it, what if he says it's ok, and he will share it, then what should we do?"

"If he doesn't care that much, wouldn't it be better to just split it up?"

"No," Duan Xiaochen shook his head like a rattle, "Even if I become a sticky candy, I will stick to him."

"I really can't stand you."

"I don't want you to suffer. If you don't like it, you can go away. This is my hotel room, thank you."

Yan Yingzhen smiled and said, "Your? Believe it or not, I'll buy this hotel immediately."

"" I can't afford it, I can't afford it.

"You still owe me 3000 yuan! Pay it back quickly!" Duan Xiaochen changed the subject again.She neatly packed her clothes. She didn't bring many things, and quickly packed them all into the suitcase.

"When did I owe you 3000 yuan!"

"You won't admit it if you lose!"

"Obviously I didn't lose! It's me who played the cards! It's you who should give me the money!"

"You are a liar! You are wrong! You will be fined!"

"No!"

"Yes! If it's not guilty, why did you mix the cards in right away!"

"I'm just used to it!"

The two argued for a few words, then silently shut up without further arguing.

In fact, the truth is not important.

None of them would pay attention to thousands of dollars.

It's just a matter of breath.

Duan Xiaochen curled her lips, "Forget it, I won't bother with you this time. Thank you for posting that post to support me when I encountered that incident."

Yan Yingzhen smiled slightly, and her face, which was slightly fatter than before, seemed to be shining with the brilliance of motherhood, "I told you, only I can bully you."

"Don't say such domineering CEO talk, you read too much on the Internet!"

"I was originally a domineering president." Yan Yingzhen said lightly.

"" I can't talk today!

Yan Yingzhen suddenly said, "Do you want to develop in the Stars and Stripes for a long time in the future?"

Duan Xiaochen blinked her eyes to conceal the shock in her heart.

Is this about to start a new round of war?

Out of caution, she did not immediately react violently.

But I must be scolding in my heart.

"Don't worry, Lao Du will come here often in the future." Yan Yingzhen said slowly.

Chapter 686 "Du Caiwei" is also very nice

Duan Xiaochen stopped what he was doing, pushed the suitcase to the door of the room, then sat opposite Yan Yingzhen, and looked at her seriously: "What do you want to express? Is the company's future development centered on the Stars and Stripes? Or You have other ideas."

Yan Yingzhen looked at her with a smile, and nodded until Duan Xiaochen felt uncomfortable, "In the future, the company will increase its efforts to develop this market. Lao Du will spend at least one third of his time here every year. I even hope that he can concentrate on developing here for a period of time, make a few movies in Hollywood, release a few albums to people, and establish our company's brand."

Duan Xiaochen pursed his lips and thought for a while, "I agree with developing the Stars and Stripes country market, but if the investment is too large, will the company be unable to bear it?"

Yan Yingzhen rubbed her stomach subconsciously, "I have something to tell you. Anyway, in a few days, you should get the news. Juzhi Investment is close to completing the acquisition of 'Warner Bros. Pictures', only a little Small details have not been discussed yet. The acquisition of 'Albert & Sons Music' is also progressing well and will be completed in the near future."

Duan Xiaochen opened his mouth in surprise. "I thought you guys were going to buy 'Universal Pictures', and you were caught in a tug-of-war!"

"That's just a cover."

Duan Xiaochen lowered his head and thought for a while, "In the future, do you plan to let Chasing Dream Huyu annex 'Warner', or do the two coexist?"

"Coexistence. The brand 'Warner Bros. Pictures' is hard-won and has been built for a hundred years. I am reluctant to give up," Yan Yingzhen talked eloquently. "At this stage, I will arrange for 'Warner Bros. Pictures' and Chasing Dream Interactive Entertainment to conduct more Some business connections have helped Zhumeng Huyu to establish the Stars and Stripes Country branch as soon as possible and gain a foothold in the Stars and Stripes Country. In the future, the two companies can also complement each other's resources. In my opinion, the coexistence of the two companies is more important than the merger. There are advantages. The two companies can develop in different directions."

"Then what do you want... Lao Du to do?"

"Let him check for Warner Bros. Pictures, spend more money in the past few years, create a few classic blockbusters, and reshape the brand image of Warner Bros. Pictures."

Duan Xiaochen was a little hesitant: "He... can he do it? Classic blockbusters don't mean that they can be produced with money. If they are willing to spend money to create classic blockbusters, Warner Bros. Pictures will not lose money every year. Until now It was sold to you by Time Warner."

Yan Yingzhen was full of confidence: "If he can't do it, I can't think of anyone else in the world who can do it."

"I really don't know where your confidence in him comes from." Duan Xiaochen's tone was not accusation, but envy.

"That's because," Yan Yingzhen took a deep look at her, "to a certain extent, I know him better than you."

"It's coming again, it's coming again. Can you show off less?" Duan Xiaochen said helplessly.

Yan Yingzhen giggled, "I know he's showing off? I don't think so. What kind of showing off is this?"

Duan Xiaochen gave her a white look: "For me, it counts."

She secretly looked at Yan Yingzhen's stomach with envious eyes, got up and said, "You stay and wait for him, I'll go first. Don't get up, you sit down, don't see me off."

Yan Yingzhen stood up slowly, with a big belly, "Go back and rest for a while, I guess you will come to the Stars and Stripes soon, and it will be more difficult. Of course, Lao Du will come here frequently, When 'Wulin' comes out, I'm going to bring him in. I want him to be the vice president of Warner Bros. Pictures, directly in charge of the film and television production department, and bring Warner Bros. Pictures back to life in the next few years."

"You always arrange this and that. Don't you know that he hates being arranged by others the most?" Duan Xiaochen couldn't help persuading.

Yan Yingzhen obviously saw Du Caige more thoroughly, "Don't worry, as long as I promise to let him go and make the movie he wants to make, he will satisfy these arrangements."

"Are movies so important to him?" Duan Xiaochen didn't complain, but felt a little emotional.

Yan Yingzhen smiled and said: "If one day you want to break up with him, but you don't want to take the initiative to break up, you can go to him and say: 'Choose, between the movie and me, you can only choose one.' Then you It will come true.”

"Cut. I'll never let him choose."

……

When Du Caige returned to the hotel, he opened the door and saw Yan Yingzhen, and couldn't help shrinking his neck a little guilty.

"Congratulations, you have become the first Chinese person to win the Nebula Award. Creating history is already a common occurrence for you." Yan Yingzhen smiled.

"Thank you." Du Caige looked around.

"Are you looking for your diva lover?"

"Forehead?"

"She's gone." Yan Yingzhen said coldly.

"what?"

"She dumped you, didn't want you anymore, and returned home by herself."

"Oh."

Yan Yingzhen couldn't help but said, "Give me some reaction, isn't this performance too indifferent?"

Du Caige immediately said in shock: "What? She left?"

Yan Yingzhen shook her head again and again: "It's too exaggerated, this is not your strength. Your performance in "Wulin" and "Old Boy" is much better than this. Are you perfunctory me?"

Du Caige said embarrassingly: "There is no atmosphere, it is not easy to get into the drama."

Yan Yingzhen rolled her eyes at him, and instead of continuing to chat with him, she started talking about business.

"My belly is getting bigger and bigger, and soon it will be impossible to fly around frequently. Next, I will not be able to travel on business until the baby is half a year old. But things here cannot be ignored. "

"The two years just completed the acquisition are too critical. If we don't make adjustments immediately, and those chronic diseases are not corrected immediately, it will be even more difficult to change in the future."

"So after the acquisition is completed, drastic changes will be made immediately, personnel and systems, all of which need to be checked by someone."

"Of course I'll put people in to do it, but someone has to watch over the people I put in."

"I know you don't like cumbersome administrative affairs, but in the next year, as the second largest shareholder of Juzhi Investment, you must take responsibility and pay more attention to Warner Bros. Pictures, and don't let us This acquisition has become a joke."

"I know. Don't worry too much, pay attention to rest, and make sure the baby is healthy." Du Caige said succinctly.

"If you can take responsibility, I can worry less."

"I will." Du Caige's voice was full of determination.

Yan Yingzhen laughed.
