Chapter 1658 1660【Ten wins and ten defeats theory】

  The Nobel Prize award ceremony is a grand event that attracts the attention of the whole world.

   Because of Xiang Nan's acceptance speech, he immediately gained the attention of the whole world. All of a sudden, Japan's atrocities against China attracted the attention of the whole world.

  Although at this time, due to the economic crisis, all countries maintain the attitude of sweeping the snow in front of the door and not caring about others.

  However, in order to maintain superficial morality, they still paid attention to this matter, which put a lot of pressure on Japan.

   After all, Japan is crowded with small people and poor in materials. Strategic materials such as steel, oil, and rubber all need to be imported from foreign countries.

  When its unjust war was opposed by people all over the world and led to an embargo of strategic materials, its aggression had to stop.

   After all, without steel, guns cannot be made. Without oil, tanks, ships, and vehicles cannot run; without rubber, cars have no tires, which is equivalent to a piece of scrap iron...

   Therefore, in the face of international pressure, Japan has to slow down the pace of aggression, and has to adopt a policy of softness in the rule of the occupied areas, so as to prevent those atrocities from being exposed and attract opposition from the whole world.

   Therefore, Xiang Nan's acceptance speech is of great significance. The government said that Xiang Nan's words were worth an army's strength.

  …

  Knowing this, Xiang Nan was also very happy.

  He then donated all the Nobel prize money and set up the Wenqiang Scholarship to fund domestic scientific research.

  At that time, the Nobel prize was one million Swedish francs, worth about 400,000 U.S. dollars, equivalent to the current 400 million RMB, which is still quite impressive.

   And this move naturally made the Chinese people admire it even more.

   "Mr. Xu is not only talented and intelligent, but also loves the motherland, he is also generous, willing to do good, regardless of fame and fortune, he is really a model for my generation!"

   "400,000 U.S. dollars, so much money, Mr. Xu is willing to donate, it is so generous. It is a role model for us to learn from!"

   "Mr. Xu donated so much money to reward those who have made outstanding contributions in science. The students in my generation should not disappoint him, and should work harder to learn and create."

  People have praised, for a while, the heart of learning has won.

  …

   Entering the third to fifth year, the haze of war is getting heavier.

  In Germany, Hitler blatantly violated the "Versailles Peace Treaty" and aggressively expanded the army, expanding the 100,000 troops limited by the peace treaty to 300,000. And re-establish the navy, air force, and armored forces. It can be said that the "Versailles Peace Treaty" has lost all binding force like a piece of waste paper at this time.

  In Italy, Mussolini sent troops to invade Ethiopia. In fact, last year, he had already dispatched troops. However, the combat power of the Italian army is worrying. After fighting for a year, it has not defeated Ethiopia, so he can only continue to send more troops.

On the part of Japan, in order to continue to invade China, it intentionally created troubles, and used this as an excuse to intimidate by force, forcing the government to sign the "Treaty of Qin and Land", handing over most of the territory of Chahar Province to others, and opening the door for Dongying to invade North China .

  However, as the Japanese side is pressing harder and harder, the anti-Japanese forces in China are also rising. The "August 1st Declaration" and "Anti-Japanese National Salvation Declaration" were launched one after another, calling on the people of the whole country to unite as one, stop the civil war, unite with the outside world, resist the Japanese invaders, and strive for victory.

  The publication of the two declarations greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the domestic military and civilians to fight against Japan. The anti-Japanese national united front is beginning to emerge.

  …

  Xiang Nan also officially launched "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" in 2035, borrowing the book to express his ambition, and continue to inspire the people to unite and resist evil and darkness.

   It is worth mentioning that this series of books have been banned in Germany, Italy, Japan and other countries because of the suspicion of insinuation.

   But even so, each book in the "Harry Potter" series can still sell millions of copies. is one of the most popular novels today.

  The reason why this series of novels are popular is that apart from the wonderful content and good-looking stories, the key is that they are inspiring. In today's economic downturn and the background of wolf smoke everywhere, it is really rare to have such a heart-warming book, and it is naturally very popular.

  In addition to writing novels, Xiang Nan also authorized Broadway to adapt "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" into a stage play. After the release, it was also very popular, attracting hundreds of thousands of viewers.

   After the outbreak of the economic crisis, life on Broadway was actually very difficult.

  Broadway theaters mainly rely on ticket revenue and sponsor support to survive.

  After the economic crisis, people did not have so much money for entertainment, and going to Broadway to watch performances became an unbearable burden for people; after the economic crisis, many theater sponsors also went bankrupt or suffered heavy losses.

  Under such circumstances, it is also difficult for them to spend as much money as before, donating money to support these elegant arts.

   Therefore, the theater that originally performed three or four performances a day would only start once a week. Also because of the reduction in the number of performances, Broadway actors once faced unemployment.

  And now, because of the release of the stage play "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", a large number of book fans poured into Broadway to appreciate and support it, making the long-empty theater suddenly full.

  Even so, the queue of people queuing up to buy tickets still formed a long queue at the ticket gate of the theater.

   Seeing this, the theater manager was naturally very happy. And the actors can also re-enter the stage, which is naturally an excellent thing for them.

  Subsequently, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" performed more than 6,000 consecutive performances on Broadway, becoming the longest stage play in Broadway history. And the popularity of this show has also revived Broadway, which has been silent for a long time.

For this reason, Xiang Nan was hailed as "Broadway's Savior", and won the Broadway Drama Critics Award for Best Screenplay Award, Best Stage Play Award, Best Actor and Actress Award, and Best Lighting Award in the second year. The award also set a record for the award since its establishment.

  …

  The stage play of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" on Broadway has also attracted the attention of Hollywood filmmakers. They immediately sent people to find Xiang Nan, hoping to authorize them to adapt this series of novels into movies.

  Although Xiang Nan considers that with the current special effects technology, it is simply impossible to shoot the magical world conceived in the "Harry Potter" series of novels.

   After all, let alone computer special effects, there is no computer yet. The current special effects, at most, use techniques such as cutout, cutting, and reverse playback.

   But if he really wants to wait for the computer special effects to reach a level of realism before shooting the "Harry Potter" series, Xiang Nan may not be able to wait till he dies. So he finally agreed to their request.
