Writing about entertainment was approached by a female villain archetype

Chapter 285 Hobbies
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 domestically?"

Xu Chuan immediately replied after hearing this: "Of course it will be promoted to the foreign market. If it is just for domestic publicity, I really don't need to get a foreign award. "The Three-Body Problem" was printed for the second time and 30 copies were added. , now sold out.”

"I saw this hot search on the Internet. Your book is already scheduled to be the bestseller this year." Remy said with a smile.

Without waiting for Xu Chuan's reply, she continued: "But to be honest, I can find lobbying companies, but I may not be able to get this award.

I'm not saying your work is bad, but it's for reasons you should be aware of. After all, there is something Eurocentric about the Hugo Awards. "

Xu Chuan nodded when he heard this and said: "I know this, give it a try, if it doesn't work, forget it."

Speaking of which, the experience of "The Three-Body Problem" winning the Hugo Award on Earth was a process full of drama.

You can go to Bilibili or other platforms on this point, and you should be able to find more comprehensive popular science, but I won’t go into details here.

Currently, there are three Chinese writers on 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 Miao, a post-23s writer who won the award in 90.

How to describe the works of these two people?
Well, Xu Chuan doesn't think there's anything to describe it. If you're interested, go and see it for yourself. All I can say is that it's all in the eye of the beholder.

Anyway, the fundamental reason why "Three-Body" has such a great influence 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 of it, you should know that this award is full of various off-site factors.

Of course, it’s not just the Hugo Awards. In fact, with the development of the times, all foreign awards have developed almost like a bird.

No institution or award 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 one.

Here, Xu Chuan and Remi are chatting about the Hugo Award.

On the other side, in a study room filled with books in the capital, several people wearing glasses were chatting about similar topics.

"Have you received the invitations? Who are you going to recommend?" an older man said with a smile.

"Lao Liu is actually pretty good. I plan to write him a letter of recommendation." As soon as these words came out, another person said with a smile.

"I think Lao Hu's works have a higher chance of winning awards," a third person said.

The eldest man nodded when he heard this, and the recommendation was as expected.

So, he set his sights on the last person and said with a smile: "Lao Yu, who are you going to recommend?"

"Xuchuan." The man known as Lao Yu said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, several people present raised their eyebrows and asked in unison: "Who?"

"Xu Chuan." Lao Yu spread his hands and the smile on his face became even wider.

"What are you talking about? That guy's books are selling like crazy now, but he writes science fiction."

"Did anyone say that science fiction can't be included in the selection? Aren't poems, novels, and essays included in the selection?" Lao Yu asked after hearing this.

"Yes, that's the truth. You can indeed run for election, but has anyone won an award? Isn't this a waste of quota?"

When Lao Yu heard this, he immediately became unhappy: "Look what you said, what is a waste of quota? This quota is mine, and I can recommend whoever I want.

I just like what he writes, it's very interesting. I'm going to accompany you when I send others, so why can't I just send one that I like? "

"That "Three-Body Problem" is absolutely impossible. You can't pass the test just by writing it."

"Who said I was going to hand over "The Three-Body Problem"? Haven't you watched "The Wandering Blue Star"? The second prequel written in reverse order by this guy is so interesting.

The writing is indeed poor, but what does it matter? "Lao Yu said and burst into laughter.

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.

The original reason for Remi coming over this time was to get books. After she took the book, she instinctively opened it and scanned it.

After a while, she picked up the book, opened the cover, faced the inner pages towards Xu Chuan, and asked doubtfully: "There is a question I have always been confused about, who is this Mr. Pu Lan?"

The page she faced Xu Chuan was the first page after opening the cover of the book.

There is nothing else on this page, except for a calligraphy work printed in the middle, with the four characters "Wandering Blue Star" written on it.

Then there is the "Mr. Pu Lan's question" printed in font below.

There is also a similar calligraphy work "Three Body Problems".

The originals of these two calligraphy works were given to him by Zhao Kangnian. Now he keeps it in his study.

The original is naturally in the proper calligraphy format of the Eight Classics, from right to left, and then inscribed on the far left with a seal.

But when printing, Xu Chuan deliberately changed the format.

In addition, the author's introduction is usually printed in the area folded inside the cover. But whether it is "The Wandering Blue Star" or "The Three-Body Problem", there is a comment printed on it.

The source of the comment was naturally Mr. Pu Lan, but Xu Chuan did not indicate that it was written by him.

Sometimes some things are just troublesome. It's not good if you don't use something given by others, and it's not good if you use it too straightforwardly.

Now when he heard Remi ask who Mr. Pu Lan was, Xu Chuan felt helpless.

Because he also wanted to ask this question, who is Mr. Pu Lan?
However, it was impossible for him to tell Remy that he didn't know either, so he could only say: "An old gentleman."

"Old sir? Are you from the Writers' Association?" Remy asked instinctively.

"That's not true. Okay, this is not important." Xu Chuan did not explain too much. He deliberately raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost 10 o'clock in the evening.

Although it is still early for people in big cities, it is still a bit too late for certain lonely men and widows.

Remy naturally understood what this movement of raising the watch meant.

But now she just wanted to pretend to be confused, so she chose a later flight and rushed to Xu Chuan's house after 8 o'clock. Why?

Don’t you just want to take advantage of the night atmosphere and stay for a while?

How could you just leave like this?

As a result, Remy not only didn't take the initiative to get up and say he wanted to leave, but instead opened the book and started reading slowly.

It looked like he was going to finish watching "The Wandering Blue Star" at Xu Chuan's house.

Xu Chuan was stunned by this performance, and he couldn't help but said: "You can take it back to see."

"It's better to say goodbye. It wouldn't be good if this book is lost when you take it back, or if it is read by someone who shouldn't see it.

It would be safer for me to read it on your side and then put it in my mind and take it away. "Remy found a very strong reason for himself.

After saying this, she also changed her sitting posture to a more relaxed reading state.

"I don't think this is necessary. I believe you can keep it well." Xu Chuan said, somewhat dumbfounded.

"Are you planning to go to the United States together?" Remi did not reply to Xu Chuan's question, but turned the topic back to the United States.

"Uh?" The topic jumped so fast that Xu Chuan couldn't hear it clearly for a while.

"I said, do you plan to go to the United States with Teacher Qiu? We have collected information about several weddings in Los Angeles in advance, and plan to recreate the MV scene for Teacher Qiu first." Remy continued to lower his head and read a book. .

However, although she acted like she was reading a book, she actually didn't read a single word.

She really wanted to go to the United States with Xu Chuan, because then she would have enough and reasonable reasons to stay together all day long. That would be the world between myself and Xu Chuan, and anything could happen.

"But the question is, didn't you say that you claimed to your side that Teacher Qiu and I had fallen out? Staying together in China can be said to be a business.

Is it reasonable for me to go abroad and act with her again? "Xu Chuan asked after hearing Remi's words.

When Remy heard this, his eyes became obviously wandering as he lowered his head while reading, and his mouth couldn't help but pursed nervously.

In my heart, it was because I told the public that you and Qiu Yicheng had a falling out, so we have a world of two. Otherwise, if you were already acting together with Qiu Yicheng, how could you have anything to do with yourself?

Speaking of which, Remi still firmly believes that Qiu Yicheng is a lesbian and he and Xu Chuan are just good friends.

It's not her fault. Xu Cihua talks too much in her ears. It's like a mental seal. It's really hard to change her mind after preconceptions.

Secondly, whether Qiu Yicheng is singing "Sugar" or "Shape of You", they are all songs from a male perspective, which will mess up everyone.

But it doesn't matter whether he pulls or not, Qiu Yicheng is a light bulb that must be put away in Remi's eyes.

Thinking of this, Remy slightly licked his dry lips due to nervousness and said, "So, you and Teacher Qiu can't be together in the United States and have to move separately."

"What the hell am I going to do if we separate?" Xu Chuan was happy when he heard this.

"Listen to me, we may act separately on the surface, but in fact I will take you wherever she goes. Just in time, you can also take this opportunity to have an in-depth inspection of the American market, right?" Remy heard this. , quickly put down the pretense of reading and explained.

"Aren't you taking off your pants and farting? Are you treating your colleagues as fools?" Xu Chuan said speechlessly.

"You still don't know about my coworkers, they take off their pants and fart all the time. So, that's not a problem.

Moreover, I will tell them that you are so shameless this time that you want to follow Teacher Qiu’s itinerary. The purpose is to follow Teacher Qiu's lead in promoting himself, Bai Tianyu and even Du Wenyu to enter the American market.

Based on this current situation, I feel it is necessary to take advantage of your coming to the United States to once again win over you, a public figure with great influence in China.

Therefore, I will come over and contact you, and even stay together every day, so that I can coordinate your and Teacher Qiu's schedule in the middle. "Remy continued to elaborate on his thoughts.

"But the question is, why should I contact you?" Xu Chuan asked after hearing this, and then added, "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 be in contact with you?”

Hearing this, Remi said without any hesitation: "Because I can guarantee your safety, but you still have a big enemy in the United States, Xu Cihua."

"Huh?" Xu Chuan was stunned when he heard this.

Then he asked in disbelief: "So, Xu Cihua has the ability and courage to do any physical harm to me?
Darling, I know America is chaotic, but Qiu Yicheng and I should have gone to rich areas, right? Isn't the wealthy area this outrageous? Is this the United States or Mexico? "

"Of course it's not the case. Xu Cihua doesn't have the ability, let alone the courage. The United States is not in such chaos, so your safety is not a problem.

Even, as I just said, there will be people who want to take this opportunity to win over you again and let you see what a true 'free country' is.

Therefore, everything shown to you must be beautiful things. Otherwise, how can we make you believe that this place is really good and make you willing to advocate it?
The problem is, you don't know this. Based on your public statements on the Internet, isn’t it normal that you have some excessive concerns about your safety in the United States?
And I can use the excuse of protecting your safety to win over you and monitor you at the same time. Not only that, but from your point of view, with a 'hostage' like me by your side, those people should be afraid of them, right?

Therefore, it is best for you to show that you want me to stay by your side all the time, so as to be in line with your character. "At this time, Remi lowered his head slightly, and while talking, he made big gestures with his hands.

The big movements and lowered head are actually demonstrating her guilty conscience.

She didn't dare to look at Xu Chuan now, because although she was telling the truth, there was a lot of personal stuff mixed in with it.

Especially the last one "You want me to stay by your side all the time."

On the opposite side, Xu Chuan couldn't help but fall into thinking while listening to Remy's analysis.

First of all, Remy's logic made perfect sense, so he didn't think that Remy was lying to him.

But the problem is, he always feels something is wrong.

Damn it, what's wrong?

After a while, the clever Xu Chuan discovered the key to the problem.

I saw him say: "Wait, that's not right! There's something wrong with what you said."

As soon as these words came out, Remi's heart suddenly jumped up. She looked around with lowered eyes, pretending 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, Remi breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Xu Chuan was talking about something else.

So she naturally held up her phone and replied: "Now is the era of intelligence, and I have a bunch of people under me.

They won't have enough to eat, right? The work docking there was originally arranged by me and they executed it. "

"Oh, that's right." Xu Chuan nodded again when he heard this.

Sometimes, I really don't blame him for his slow reaction, although Remy's private goods feel a bit like "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone".

But Xu Chuan is now in a state of analyzing business matters. If a person listens to something and thinks about it seriously, Remy's little thoughts will be automatically ignored.

Don't believe it, it's just like if a person wants to drive a car, he can really see the wheels wherever he looks.

"Are you going then?" Remy couldn't help but asked tentatively.

"Go, I really want to see it." Xu Chuan did not say anything about what he was considering this time. He also wanted to see his girlfriend's charm abroad.

Seeing Xu Chuan's promise, Remi felt that her face was starting to become congested. She quickly picked up the "Wandering Blue Star" she had just put down and started reading it in a pretended manner.

For a moment, she was thinking about what clothes she should bring with her, and she didn't know what style Xu Chuan liked.
The few times I came here, I wore tights and stockings, but he didn't seem to even take a look. Does he like loose half-covered clothes?
Or, is it the kind of forest girl?

Just when Remi was thinking wildly, Xu Chuan stood up and said, "Okay, it's quite late. You should go back and rest early."

"This book..." Remi still didn't want to leave, she wanted to stay here.

Seeing that Remi was still using the book as an excuse, Xu Chuan immediately said with a serious face and a tone that could not be refused: "Take it back and read it, be obedient."

If you don't read anything, how could I let you stay overnight at my house? What if you want to install eavesdropping and filming equipment in my house?
Xu Chuan still doesn't fully trust Remy. Even what Remy said just now about spying and recruiting, he took it seriously.

At this time, Remy's face, which was already a little hot, became even hotter when he heard Xu Chuan's sudden "cannot refuse" tone.

Because she had dreamed of this scene several times, especially the sentence "obey", the tone was exactly the same.

According to the development of the plot, if he hesitates even a little bit at this time, what will follow should be a merciless slap.

Thinking of this, Remi stopped moving. She just looked up at Xu Chuan who was standing there, with a trace of expectation in her eyes.

But Xu Chuan was a little confused, wondering what happened to this man?

I saw him saying to Remy: "Why are you looking at me?"

This question made Remi come back to her senses instantly. She stood up quickly with some shame and said: "No... nothing... Well, I'm going, I'm going, good night."

After saying that, she quickly left Xu Chuan's home as if she were running away.

Xu Chuan, on the other hand, looked at Remy's back with even more confusion, his little head filled with big question marks.

This woman is really strange.

Remy on the other side, after escaping back to the car, put two cold hands on his face to cool himself down.

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 hobby?"

"It must be because I have been with Xu Cihua and these perverts for a long time. Yes, it must be! I was affected."

"Wait a minute, Xu Chuan majored in psychology. He must have seen something. He must have seen it. What should we do?"

"It's so shameful, this is so shameful!! But...hey..."
