This man knows how to hype

Chapter 527: Novel and Music Reach the Top

The pinnacle of instrumental music is the symphony;

The pinnacle of vocal music is the chorus.

There is no other singing style that can be more shocking than the chorus of thousands of people.

At this time, the band was standing on both sides of the simple stage.

The stars who came to support the event surrounded Nancy and stood in the center.

There were countless people singing along, and the backlights of their cell phones were as bright as stars.

The song "One Day" echoed in the air.

Such a scene brought an extremely strong shock to everyone present.

Sing, shout, sing again, shout again. It was a song of only a few minutes, but it was sung five or six times before it was finished.

Of course, because there were too many people at the scene and the signal was too poor, no video of the scene could be seen on the Internet.

The media did have an OB vehicle, but they did not start live broadcast. Instead, they hoped to capture more footage and release it after editing.

Therefore, it will take some time for netizens to see this shocking scene.

But it doesn’t matter. At this time, many netizens were discussing another thing: the “Hugo Award” was finally awarded.

As expected, "The Three-Body Problem" won this year's Hugo Award for Best Novel.

Since Xu Xiyu returned to China, the person who received the award was Wang Zhou, the translator of the English version.

While delivering the acceptance speech on behalf of Xu Xiyu, he also announced the official sale of the physical books of "The Three-Body Problem: The Dark Forest" in English, Spanish, Arabic and Japanese.

To be honest, not many people paid attention to the Hugo Award.

But this time there was an outlier among the participants, Xu Xiyu, so the news of "The Three-Body Problem" winning the award quickly attracted the attention of a large number of netizens at home and abroad and was reported by the media.

Under the relevant award ceremony video clips on YouTube, comments are coming one after another.

[This award should go to The Three-Body Problem, which is well deserved. I have read this book twice and it is excellent.]

[Congratulations to "The Three-Body Problem" and Mr. Xu Xiyu. I will definitely buy the physical book for collection]

[Oh my god, I don’t know how to praise Xu’s talent. How can one person achieve success in film, television, music, and literature? ]

He's even handsome.

[Oh, I think I should boycott him, you know, seeing such people makes me feel too ordinary]

【LMAO~~】

[He is really not "right", Ahahahaha]

[I don't understand, why there are Japanese and Spanish versions, but no Korean version? ]

[What don't you understand? You should understand]

[Excuse me, which bookstore in Japan sells it? Where should I buy it? ]

There is a time difference between the United States and other countries. It is night on the West Coast, but it is noon in China, Japan and other places.

As early as when Xu Xiyu was shot for the first time, Japanese readers had paid attention to the book "The Three-Body Problem", and even earlier, "The Three-Body Problem" already had a certain number of readers in Japan. Now that "The Three-Body Problem" has won an award and the Japanese version of "The Three-Body Problem: The Dark Forest" has also been released, readers immediately began to ask online where to buy it.

That’s when they asked.

Videos of the chorus finally began to appear on the Internet one after another, some taken by the media, some taken by participants, and even some taken by celebrities on the stage.

These videos caused a huge response once they were uploaded.

Immediately, netizens from other cities and other countries expressed their desire to organize similar choruses.

If "One Day" was just popular before, after this chorus, its popularity and fame can only be described as explosive.

Also exploding was the creator Xu Xiyu.

Because, at the same time as the video of the chorus appeared on the Internet, videos of media interviews with the participants were also uploaded to the Internet.

Among those who were interviewed the most, of course, were those who were already famous, and the questions they asked inevitably mentioned Xu Xiyu.

"You know, Xu and I are very good friends. I really like his movies, his music and his novels. He is indeed a very outstanding person," said Luciano.

And Roman also commented: "I have seen many of his works and I know he is a very good creator, so if there is a chance, I hope to work with him."

"He is very charming, but it's a pity that he is not single, hahahaha." Scarlett's comment was short, but it was the most talked about.

What foreign netizens talked about even more than his was the answer from a foreign brother.

When he was asked by reporters about his opinion on Xu Xiyu, what he expressed added another impressive label to Xu Xiyu.

"I have studied Chinese, so I was very impressed by his name. I am not talking about his English name Leonardo Xu, but his Chinese name [Xu Xiyu].

People who have not learned Chinese may not know what '希羽' means. 希 in Chinese means 'hope', 羽 means feather, wing, bird.

In other words, his Chinese name means 'Wings of Hope', so he is a man who lives up to his name and his qualities can be seen from his name.

Coincidentally, the lady's Chinese name is 'Nanxi', which also has the character 'Xi' in it, so they must be destined to be friends."

My goodness, these words are full of a flavor of "fatalism". You know, "My destiny is in my own hands" is something Chinese people like to shout.

Foreigners, on the other hand, prefer fatalism and the theory of bloodline, which can be seen from their film, television and literary works. They believe that someone is born to be a king and should rule the world, etc.

In addition, when the old man said the word "羽", he crossed his hands together and made a wing gesture, which looked like a "peace dove" taking off.

Just one day later, this action became a symbol of "peace" and "hope".

This made both Xu Xiyu and Nancy dumbfounded.

Is this even possible?!
But when you think about it, it makes sense. Foreigners always use some "iconic actions" and "markers" to distinguish groups in various activities. This is their cultural habit.

Driven by this cultural habit, in the following days, a "chorus of peace" appeared in many European countries including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and some Southeast Asian countries.

That’s right, the chorus of “One Day” has been named the “Peace Chorus”.

Moreover, during the chorus, you can see many people doing the "Wings of Hope" movement.

Not only that, but in the past few days, people have lined up in countries around the world to buy The Three-Body Problem.

Now, Xu Xiyu's novels and music have both reached the top.
