Chapter 210 The Influence of Cultural Symbols

a few days later.

After Bob Dylan's comments on "Harry Potter" and the preface written by him were handed over to the Golden Dawning Publishing Group, Ms. Hassan immediately began to deploy the mission.

"Boss, are you right?" a middle-aged man couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, the preface to the release of the "Harry Potter" book was written by Bob Dylan." Ms. Hassan looked around at everyone present.

One stone creates a thousand waves!

Everyone present was amazed, of course, it was more unbelievable and excited!

"My God~ That's Bob Dylan!"

"Yeah, although I can see him release new music records every year, he is too low-key and hardly accepts media interviews."

"The last time he wrote a preface to another writer's work was 10 years ago, and we were lucky."

The people in the publishing house immediately whispered.

"Good luck? Indeed," Ms Hassan murmured.

Bob Dylan is a very individual little old man, even in the face of many big people, he is neither humble nor arrogant;

When they are unhappy, they even slap their face at them.

In 2012, Bob Dylan was invited to attend the inaugural party of the *** re-elected President of the United States.

At that time, *** walked up to him like a fanboy and stretched out his hand to shake hands. But Bob Dylan was dismissive. He said, "I can't shake your hand today because I'll be painting with those hands later."

In the face of the President of the United States, he is still so pissed!

Another time, the *** held a concert commemorating the American Human Rights Movement at the White House and invited Dylan to sing. Dylan was still a maverick. Not only did he not participate in the rehearsal, he was not even interested in the photo session with the president and his wife on the day of the concert. .

"If he does anything else, he's not Bob Dylan."

*** Said that the only interaction between the two was a courtesy handshake.

When watching "Forrest Gump", many people were deeply attracted by the song "The Answer Blows in the Wind" sung by singer Jenny.

"How many times does a man have to look up before he can look up at the beauty of the sky."

The questions chanted with the sound of the guitar seemed to grab everyone's hearts in an instant.

When people are amazed at the deep political meaning behind the melody and lyrics of this song, no one seems to expect that it will come from a young boy. And this person was a figure who later had a huge influence on American folk music, poetry and literature - Bob Dylan.

"If Michael Jackson is the representative of American pop music, then Bob Dylan is a cultural symbol of America, a symbol of the culture of the times!"

Now, he personally wrote the preface for the book "Harry Potter", do you think everyone at Jin Shuguang Publishing House can't be surprised?

Shocked!

...

In fact, when Bob Dylan's preface to "Harry Potter" was first published in the press, it caused a sensation!

"God! It's Bob Dylan!" exclaimed a young girl holding a newspaper.

Could she not know Bob Dylan?

You know, since 1981, Bob Dylan's articles have been published in the compulsory textbooks of American high schools, and two articles at a time.

What is this concept?

It is like a student of the Great Celestial Dynasty, who is generally influential in reading the poems of Li Bai and Du Fu.

Of course, Bob Dylan may be far less influential than Li Bai, Du Fu and others, but his influence among American students,

It is extremely powerful and terrifying.

On this day, many primary and secondary school students in the United States, and even college students, have seen the preface to this "Harry Potter".

"What kind of story is "Harry Potter" that Dylan can write for him himself?"

"Yeah, you know how many writers and publishers in America want Dylan's shot, but it doesn't work."

"I have to say, I became interested in the book Harry Potter."

"Yes, me too."

"We can buy it and see, after all, even Dylan loves it."

......

Apple Inc.

CEO Jobs pushed his glasses and repeatedly confirmed the contents of the newspaper.

"Humph!"

"Zuck Wald, this bastard, is a bit capable. He can actually ask Dylan to write a preface for the book released by his publishing house?!"

"Damn~!"

There was disbelief and a touch of jealousy in Jobs' tone.

As we all know, Steve Jobs is a loyal fan of Dylan!

Pixar Animation was successfully listed, and Jobs held a celebration reception and invited Dylan to participate, but Dylan did not give him a shot, which made Jobs, a fanboy, very sad.

Jobs admired Dylan so much, even to the point of going after Dylan's ex-girlfriend.

When Jobs was still in college, he broke up with his then-girlfriend just to date Joan Baez. At the time, Jobs was in his twenties and Joan Baez was in his early 40s. There was a nearly 20-year age gap between them, and Joan Baez was Bob Dylan's ex-girlfriend.

"Harry Potter?" Jobs murmured, dazed.

......

Viacom Group.

Redstone, owner of Viacom Group, the parent company of Paramount Pictures, is a Bob Dylan fan despite his age.

"Who says I'm getting old and lacking energy? You know I listen to Bob Dylan's folk and rock every day, and his singing tells me I'll always be 30, no, always 18. boy!"

These are the words that Summer Redstone often talks about.

At this moment, Lei Shidong put down the newspaper in his hand and dialed the phone on the desk.

After a while, the phone was connected.

"Ms. Shirley Lansing, I'm Redstone. Regarding the end of the cooperation with Wald Pictures, you will arrange for someone to focus on it."

"Yes, that's right!"

"Especially the book "Harry Potter", you must check it out. You need to know its preface, but Dylan wrote it himself."

......

Bob Dylan, he is a contemporary American cultural symbol and a symbol of the times. As soon as his preface came out, all the citizens of the United States were immediately moved.

No doubt, he has such influence!

To this day, Zucker and Ms. Hassan feel very lucky, and when Dylan makes a move, Zucker is really excited.

In particular, Dylan's influence in American primary and secondary school students and the upper class is unparalleled.

In addition, UPN TV network, WB TV network, major American media that collect money, including major bookstores that cooperate with Jin Shuguang Publishing Group, are frantically promoting the first book of "Harry Potter".

Time flies by...

August 3.

On this day, the first book in the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", is officially on sale in the United States!
