The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Alice is a fairy tale writer in this UN exchange group and is very famous in the United Nations.

She has been learning Chinese since she was a child from Chinese people who went abroad, so she took the initiative to seek the opportunity to come to China this time.

After arriving in China, she found that the Chinese she had learned was extremely useful and she had no problem communicating with Chinese people in Chinese.

Now she is especially grateful to her family for spending a lot of money to let her learn Chinese. Today she saw "Lou Zhongyue's Fairy Tales Collection" on the Internet, and it was ranked first in the fairy tale reading section. She was very curious, opened it and read the first story, and fell in love with this fairy tale collection.

She felt that every story in this collection of fairy tales was extremely exciting. The stories all had clear distinctions between love and hate, enthusiastically praising the working people and their kindness and pure excellent qualities; while ruthlessly exposing and criticizing the stupidity, incompetence, greed and cruelty of princes and nobles.

She looked up the author Lou Zhongyue and saw that he also had a collection of short stories called "Lou Zhongyue's Fables". She opened it and read a few of them and found that the fables were short and concise, and the images portrayed were vivid and lively. Each story contained philosophy, either exposing and criticizing social contradictions, or expressing the understanding of life, or summarizing daily life experience.

Then she looked through Lou Zhongyue's other works and was amazed after reading them. Lou Zhongyue was really awesome.

She now particularly wants to share the writer Lou Zhongyue with her friend William, who is also a novelist. It was Alice who encouraged him to come to China this time.

Alice knocked on William's room and the door opened directly.

William said with great joy, "Oh my God, Alice, I just wanted to recommend you a writer. He is really amazing."

Alice said happily: "William, what a coincidence, I came to you because I have a Chinese writer to recommend to you. The books he wrote are really great."

"Ladies first, you speak first."

William didn't expect to have such a tacit understanding with his good friend Alice, and he politely made a gesture of invitation to Alice.

Alice smiled and said, "His name is Lou Zhongyue..."

"What? Lou Zhongyue?" William was surprised and said, "Sorry to interrupt you. The writer I want to recommend is also called Lou Zhongyue."

Alice was shocked. The writer recommended by both people was Lou Zhongyue.

"Are you talking about Lou Zhongyue, the writer of Dune?"

"Yes, he also wrote "Lou Zhongyue's Fairy Tales" and "Lou Zhongyue's Fables."

The two became even more certain that they were talking about the same person, the Chinese writer Lou Zhongyue.

This was the first time William read the science fiction novel "Dune", and he had just read "Avatar" a few days ago, so you can imagine how excited he was. He found that he liked novels of this theme.

"William, I think we need to buy Lou Zhongyue's book back to our United Nations so that our readers there can also read such excellent works."

Alice, the fairy tale writer, is a very loving person and she really wants to do something meaningful for the people of the United Nations.

"I totally agree. If Lou Zhongyue's Dune is brought to the United Nations, it will definitely cause a sensation because it is so wonderful."

The two decided to take over and go to Fox, who was then receiving director Grimaud. He did not bring any works to China this time because he thought his work was not as good as "King Kong". However, after watching "Avatar", he decided to introduce it to the United Nations. He felt that "Avatar" would have a profound impact on the development of film.

So Grimaud came to Fox and proposed introducing the United Nations.

Although Fox had thought about it, he didn't expect that Grimaud would be the first to bring it up.

"Grimaud, I will write your suggestion into the report, and when we return to the United Nations, I will let the President make the decision, okay?"

Grimaud knew that this was Fox's greatest right.

"Well, Mr. Fox, thank you for your promise."

When Fox escorted Grimaud out of the room, he saw Alice and William standing at the door and about to knock.

After the four of them greeted each other, Grimaud said goodbye to the other three.

"Goodbye Mr. Fox."

"Good-bye, Mr. Grimaud. Don't worry, I will do what I promised."

“Thank you again, Mr. Fox, for your service to the people of the United Nations.”

After seeing Grimaud off, the three of them sat down.

Alice was the first to speak: "Mr. Fox, I have a proposal. I would like to introduce three works by the Chinese writer Lou Zhongyue to the United Nations. Two of them are very suitable for educating children, and one is a science fiction novel similar to "Avatar". This is the best Chinese work I have seen in the past two days."

"Yes, I can prove that they are all excellent. I hope you can go to the novel website and take a look when you have time. You will know that what we say is true."

Fox didn't expect it to be the same request again. One was written into the report, and the two were the same. There was no difference. The purpose of this exchange group was no longer what was originally envisioned, and this was not something he could decide personally.

"Okay, I'll verify it. If it's true, I'll also write it in the report."

"Write it into the report as well? Mr. Fox, may I ask, is there anyone else who has made the same suggestion?"

Alice was very curious. She thought she was fast enough, but she was still a step slow.

Fox shrugged and said, "It was Mr. Grimaud who just left. His suggestion was Avatar."

Alice and William immediately understood that "Avatar" was indeed a very good movie.

"Mr. Grimaud has a very good eye, it's an excellent film."

There was a cunning look in Alice's eyes. Everyone is the same. So when we return to the United Nations, the President won't be able to do anything to us, right?

William also smiled, he understood what Alice meant.

That day, Fox received quite a few people, and the things they talked about were almost the same as those told by Alice and Grimaud.

At night, Fox lay in bed for a long time, unable to calm down. He didn't know what punishment he would receive when he returned to the United Nations, but he tried his best.

The "Chunhua Cup Short Story Anonymous Evaluation Activity" on the novel website is still in full swing. More and more people have participated in the submission of works. Many excellent works have been liked by the public. The short story "Jewelry" has also emerged as a dark horse and has been ranked second.

Ranked first is "Mom's Scarf", a warm short story.

This forum has started a discussion on the top few works.

"I think 'Mom's Scarf' can promote the traditional virtues of our country. It deserves to be the first."

"But don't you think the content is a bit old-fashioned? I still like "Jewelry"."

"Actually the third place one is pretty good too!"

In short, everyone thinks that what they say is correct.

"Will the old demon Louzhongyuelou have any works participating this time? I am quite looking forward to his works."

"Lou Lao Mo is busy updating Dune all day long, so how can he have time to write a short story?"

"Who said that's not possible? Have you forgotten that when he was updating The Legend of Swordsman of Shu Mountain, he also wrote The Moon in the Tower Fairy Tales and The Moon in the Tower Moral Tales!"

"Could it be that he has already voted, but we just don't know?"

"This is something that only Lou Lao Mo could do."

"Why not go to his Weibo and ask him."

"He doesn't even use Weibo. You can count the number of posts he has made on one hand."

"Whatever, I'll go for it."

Then, quite a few book fans actually left comments.

As for Alice, she also worked overtime at night to write a short story, and then submitted it to the novel website. Her writing style is delicate and very good at sensationalism, which is very popular. Therefore, she is very confident that her work will get good reviews.

William also wrote one, but he submitted it quietly because he was afraid that Alice would say he was competing with her. As for the ranking, he didn't even think about getting ahead.

Xiaoyue has been on the crew these two days, and Liu Wenjie comes to have lunch with Xiaoyue every day.

Every time the crew saw Liu Wenjie, they looked at him like a pig that had eaten its own cabbages and didn't treat him well.

Liu Wenjie felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after two days, he didn't care at all.

Wu Hao was also very unconfident at the beginning, but after a few days he pretended that Liu Wenjie didn't exist. After all, Liu Wenjie would not interfere with the filming or give any instructions. He just stood behind Xiaoyue and watched Xiaoyue direct others.

After dinner that day, Liu Wenjie saw that Xiaoyue seemed to be in a good mood, and finally asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"Xiao Yue, what does it mean when you give me the plaque of Liu's Jewelry one day?"

Xiao Yue rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily: "You blinded me."

"Just because of this? Did you fall in love with a piece of jewelry?" Liu Wenjie never expected this to be the answer.

"If I need jewelry, can't I buy it myself?" Xiao Yue is now very wealthy, and he really doesn't care about ordinary jewelry.

Liu Wenjie suddenly saw the jade pendant on Xiaoyue's neck. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked. Why did it look so much like the one that grandma gave to her mother? It seemed to be passed down by the direct daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and it had a history of hundreds of years.

Liu Wenjie shook his head again to deny it. Maybe it was just a resemblance?

"No, if you like any piece of Liu's jewelry, I can give you a discount, guaranteed to be the cost price."

When Xiaoyue heard this, her eyes lit up. Having money is one thing, but being able to save money is another. She smiled and nodded, "Okay."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Wu Hao felt a little worried for them. If you continue like this, when will you be able to achieve your goal?
