The next day.
The countdown to the Lucky Medal:
There were 32 hours left.
…
At the studio.
Reports of success kept coming in.
"Director Zhang, we've sold 10.8 million copies!"
"Good, very good."
"Director Zhang, the Portuguese side has contacted us!"
"Director Zhang, the Korean publishers have also contacted us!"
"Director Zhang, several Japanese translators would like to work with us."
"They want to translate Gone with the Wind?"
"Yes."
"Give it to them."
"That's great. If that's the case, it won't be long before your book will be sold in all the languages of the world. I'll go and negotiate with them."
…
On the news.
It was announced that the multi-language versions of Gone with the Wind would be released soon.
A storm called Gone with the Wind swept across the world.
The characters in the book.
The plot in the book.
The thoughts in the book.
They were all broken down and analyzed one by one.
All of a sudden, it affected the entire world!
When a novel or work became extremely popular, the impact it had would also be astonishing!
…
North America.
A lot of black people took to the streets.
A lot of white people also joined the demonstration.
"Repeal the discrimination bill!"
"We demand equality!"
"We reject racial discrimination!"
With the appearance of Gone with the Wind, the darkest page in history had been flipped open once again!
Countless people were holding up copies of Gone with the Wind to protest against the last law that had not been repealed!
…
Russia.
A lot of people walked out of their homes.
"We reject war!"
"Please stop all military force!"
"We demand peace!"
"Please start peace talks!"
As more and more people joined in, the demonstration broke out.
Everyone was holding up signs, many of which were content from Gone with the Wind.
…
India.
Countless women started a protest.
"Please respect women!"
"We reject discrimination!"
"We want equality!"
"We want dignity!"
"We want freedom!"
"Bring those who humiliate women to justice!"
…
The Bangalore team.
They also saw the crowds marching in the streets.
"Damn it!"
"How could this be?"
"This influence is too great!"
"Are the Chinese really going to become our competitors?"
"What about the sales of 'Smoke of Men'?"
"Gone with the Wind has already left it in the dust!"
…
The circle of Japanese writers.
"Nani?"
"Ten million copies sold?"
"Impossible!"
"What kind of magic did this hooligan use?"
"Does he really have a chance of winning the Nobel Prize in Literature?"
"Only those world-famous novels from back then could have such an impact. Gone with the Wind actually managed to do it?"
"The new books released by the world's literary giants at the same time have already sold more than ten times their sales!"
"This is too terrifying!"
What they didn't know was that something even more terrifying was about to happen.
…
Russia.
President's residence.
"President, the people are marching."
"I understand."
"The troops in the west have begun to gather. The military is ready."
"Got it. You can go back now."
"But —"
"Go back."
"Yes."
The door closed, bringing with it a gust of wind.
The pages of a book on the president's desk flipped open and started to flutter.
Walking over, the president picked up the book curiously.
Gone with the Wind?
He sat down and started reading it quietly.
…
On the same night.
At the studio.
His subordinates had all gone home, but Zhang Ye did not leave. He gave Old Wu a call to inform her that he wouldn't be going back tonight. Then he opened up a webpage in his office and browsed it here and there. He was observing the international reviews of Gone with the Wind and the impact this novel had on them.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
Time was ticking away.
Zhang Ye was still hoping for something even bigger to happen.
Because he knew that the Lucky Medal's time limit was not up yet.
An hour.
Two hours.
On the rankings, the sales of Gone with the Wind were being refreshed again and again.
In the end, it even charged straight into the Top 50 of the global best-selling novels!
This was the global best-selling list of the top 50 best-selling novels in the world! Gone with the Wind had already broken records and was hailed as the best-selling novel of the past decade. But no one could have expected that Gone with the Wind would be able to squeeze into the global best-selling list in such a short period of time!
It was ranked 48th!
What did this mean?
Each of the 50 books on the list had a history of more than a decade. Some of them had even been sold for more than 20, 30, or even 50 years. The novels on the overall best-selling list had accumulated sales for decades before they made it onto the global best-selling list. Almost none of the original authors were still alive, and some of the books had sold an extremely exaggerated number of copies, even selling tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of copies. But how many years had they been published? How many years had they used? What about Gone with the Wind? Gone with the Wind had only used less than a month to publish it!
11 million yuan!
11.5 million yuan!
Gone with the Wind's ranking was still rising. At this rate, by the end of the year, when all the language versions of the novel were released, and when the novel's version reached every country in the world, it wouldn't be a problem for Gone with the Wind to make it into the Top 20!
The Top 20?
Every single one of those books was a world-famous novel!
Zhang Ye was so happy that he fell asleep unknowingly.
The next day.
Early morning.
Sunlight shone in. It was dawn.
A noise from downstairs woke him up. Only then did Zhang Ye open his eyes and yawn. Only then did he realize that he had slept in his chair all night.
The door suddenly opened.
Little Wang came in and screamed, "Ah, Director Zhang!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "What's the matter? Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Little Wang shouted, "You didn't go home last night?"
"No." Zhang Ye stretched lazily.
Quite a few people rushed up from downstairs.
Tong Fu shouted, "Something big has happened! Director Zhang! Something big has happened! "
Zhang Ye was taken aback. "What's the matter?"
Zhang Zuo also came up. "Y-Quickly watch the news!"
Ha Qiqi rushed over. "Gone with the Wind has caused a big stir again!"
Zhang Ye hurriedly asked, "What's the stir?"
Ha Qiqi said in shock, "This is major international news! Russia has withdrawn its troops! They've started peace talks with their neighboring countries! They've already set up a peace team to head to the neighboring countries! "
Zhang Ye was stunned. "What? There's no more war? "
Tong Fu shouted, "No more fighting! No more fighting! "
Zhang Ye said, "What has that got to do with us?"
Zhang Zuo said loudly, "The Russian president held a press conference and mentioned Gone with the Wind. He said that he couldn't sleep last night and read it all night. From the book, he saw the great impact war has on the people, so he decided to respect the will of the people and use non-military means to resolve the conflict with the neighboring countries!"
Zhang Ye was dumbfounded. "That's impossible!"
Ha Qiqi said happily, "He was really influenced by your novel!"
Zhang Ye stared at her. "Does Gone with the Wind have an anti-war plot?"
Little Wang nearly vomited blood. "You don't even know about your own book?"
Zhang Ye said, "He decided not to go to war because he read my book? Can you guys stop messing around? "
"It's true! Go and read it! "Little Wang said anxiously.
Zhang Ye's computer was still open, so he swiped the mouse to light up the screen. When he checked it, he was dumbfounded!
Holy shit!
It's true!
Following closely behind, Wu Yi also rushed up.
"Something's happened again! Where are they? Where are they? "Wu Yi roared.
Ha Qiqi rushed to the stairs and said, "They're here!"
Wu Yi immediately said something shocking. "America has rescinded the bill!"
Zhang Ye said, "Ah?"
Ha Qiqi was stunned. "What bill?"
Wu Yi said, "The news was just released a minute ago. The last remaining bill that was suspected of racial discrimination was suddenly rescinded today due to the protests of the people. The Senate passed it, and countless African-Americans and Caucasians went out into the streets to celebrate!"
Zhang Ye said, "Does it have anything to do with us?"
Zhang Zuo also got excited. "Of course it does. The reason why the people were protesting was because of Gone with the Wind! But actually, the Americans were already discussing the repeal of this bill. It was only a matter of time before it was rescinded. But our novel was definitely the trigger, so of course we have to take credit for it! "
Ha Qiqi shouted, "The Heavens are helping us!"
Little Wang roared, "The Heavens are on our side!"
Tong Fu said, "Gone with the Wind will definitely go up a notch!"
Zhang Zuo laughed heartily. "It's not just going up a notch. It's probably going to sell like crazy!"
Only Zhang Ye was still in disbelief.
…
Russia.
The cheering crowd took to the streets.
"There's no more war!"
"That's great!"
"I support the peace talks!"
"I support non-military negotiations!"
…
America.
"The bill has been rescinded!"
"Oh!"
"Let's celebrate, brothers!"
"This is a victory for us!"
"This is the brightest moment in American history!"
"Long live equality!"
…
China.
On Weibo.
"I'm gonna faint!"
"The Russian president even read Zhang Ye's book?"
"And he even decided to negotiate for peace because of this book?"
"The anti-discrimination bill that America has been dragging on for so long has been rescinded?"
"Damn! That's so awesome! "
"This is the first time that a novel from China has had such a great impact on the world!"
"Pfft, why do I feel like it's all just a coincidence!"
"Hahaha, I think so too. Actually, Russia probably didn't want to go to war in the first place. Otherwise, it wouldn't have dragged on for so long. But it just so happened that the president read Zhang Ye's book yesterday, and it just so happened that they wanted to announce the peace talks today. That's why the president brought out Gone with the Wind! It's the same over in America. They had probably planned to rescind the bill a long time ago, but they just hadn't set a date yet. But with the popularity of Gone with the Wind, the American citizens and the civil society organizations stirred up trouble. The government saw that the time was ripe and decided to rescind the bill in advance. Pfft, Face-smacking Zhang's luck is really heaven-defying! "
"His luck has always been good."
"Yeah, he's going to be famous around the world this time!"
"He's probably one step closer to winning the Nobel Prize in Literature!"
…
At the studio.
Videos.
At the press conference.
Interviews.
Text news.
Zhang Ye browsed through the news and was stunned by what he saw!
Damn!
It could even be done like this?
Wasn't this like a pie falling from the sky?
This bro had just woken up from a nap and such a big thing had happened?
But on second thought, he understood. How was this a pie falling from the sky? This was clearly the work of the Lucky Emblem. He lowered his head to look at the duration of the Lucky Emblem's activation.
Three seconds.
Two seconds.
One second.
